Does Anyone Here Sew?

Hi. I was lucky, I learned from my grandmother who was an expert. I would start out with some very easy patterns and buy more difficult ones the better you get. Practice makes perfect.

No, I can't sew. I just borrowed my mom's sewing machine to try to hem some curtains, figured it would be easy to do, weren't wide, only about 6 inches each. I messed her machine up so bad, she still hasn't figured it out lol. Somehow the dang needle got lost or broke off way down inside or something, I don't know. Told her she deserved it for lending me the machine, she should've known better when I asked her to thread it for me :)

I can tell you a couple of thing about the pattern if you are still interested. That Arrow that goes down the center of your patterns is to be put on the streight of the grain. You line it up with the squared edge of your fabric. Hope this helps and you haven't given up sewing. I loved it when My hands were good and I could sew. Made a lot of my daughters clothes. Both my girls sew today.

I actually took a sewing class, beginner level, with my best friend years and years ago! It was great because it gave me just enough insight to be dangerous! LOL Just kidding. It did teach me enough to be able to create simple items with the machine, read a pattern (somewhat) and be semi-comfortable with sewing. I strongly recommend a class for beginners. Most places that have sewing machines for sale offer classes also. I'm not sure if the crafting stores, like Jo-Ann's offers them or not.

Everyone should learn how to sew! My father knew how (his mother and grandmother were avid sewers, crocheters and knitters), my sister and I learned from our grandmothers, and my youngest brother learned from my dad and me. We learned how to make a shirt all BY HAND and then another on the machine.My daughter was taught by me, too, and last Christmas I gave my teenage granddaughter a big sewing basket full of notions and thread.

You can probably take classes in some sew and vac shops, if you have those where you live. Colleges might offer them as well. My mom was an excellent seamstress, unfortunately I didn't inherit that talent lol. I'm sure you do well if you put your heart into it :)

After five months, how is the sewing coming along? I think the best way to learn is just to keep trying and practice. That's it basically.

i learn it when i did my fashion designing. then too oi m not an excellent person to sew yhings but i can design pretty well.
